Jim points out the hook in Survivor‘s 1984 hit “I Can’t Hold Back”. I included the beginning of the guitar solo at the end of the sample because it also incorporates the melody. Here’s all of them again!

Keith, love the site and thanks for posting. I’ll send some musically inclined friends by to see if we can come up with some others. Glad to see you have Matthew and Son and Mad World listed. As much as I love Cat Stevens, Tear for Fears took the best part of the song and made something great.

I think those who point the finger at these guys are so damn stupid…do you have any idea about how much you have to work as an artist?..just shut the f*** up f***!you are just couch potatoes that only drive your car to the nearest fastfood and criticise people that really work!!!

Thanks Benjy! A few other users pointed this similarity out as well. I’ve been meaning to post that. It also reminds me of Cutting Crew’s “(I Just) Died in Your Arms Tonight”): . Of course this is all no surprise considering the Spears track is yet another Dr. Luke creation. Look for my upcoming Dr. Luke post.
